This fish fry brings together citrusy brightness and a crisp semolina shell that holds its crunch even after cooling. The lemon-thyme mix wakes up the natural flavour of the fish, while the semolina–rice flour coating creates a firm, brittle crust. Each step is designed to help home cooks avoid soggy coatings or overcooked fillets.

Description - Step 1

Dry the Fish

Lay the fish pieces on kitchen paper and press lightly to remove surface moisture. This simple step reduces splattering in the pan and helps the coating cling better. Dry fish also browns more evenly, avoiding patchy spots during frying.

Step 1

Dry the Fish

2 minutes

Step 2

Make the Marinade

3 minutes

Step 3

Marinate the Fish

23 minutes

Step 4

Prepare the Crust

2 minutes

Plate it up!

Plating Instructions

Arrange the fish pieces slightly overlapping on a flat plate so the crust stays visible.

Pairing Instructions

Keep a fresh lemon wedge on the side to brighten each bite without overpowering the thyme.

Garnishing Instructions

Scatter a few thyme leaves or a light dusting of zest for a clean, citrus-forward look.
